In the dark night, a few fast horses galloped on the official road, kicking up dust along the way.
Ye Li rode on the back of a horse and kept whipping her whip as she galloped forward. Because she had the memories of two lifetimes and was not an impulsive person, Ye Li had always been calm and unruffled. But this time, she could not help but lose her sense of propriety. She allowed the cold wind to blow against her cheeks and messed up the hair on her temples. Zhuo Jing and the others followed behind Ye Li and were also galloping without stopping. The sudden accident in the originally smooth battle caught everyone off guard.
Suddenly, the horse that Ye Li was sitting on let out a neigh and reared up.
"Princess Consort, be careful!"
Ye Li jumped up from the horse's back. When she landed on the ground, the galloping horse also fell to the ground.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh —" A rain of arrows came from both sides of the road.
A murderous look flashed across Ye Li's beautiful eyes. She said in a low voice, "They've all been dealt with!" In the darkness, countless men in black rushed out from the shadows, killing the archers on both sides of the road. Ye Li, on the other hand, had already mounted another horse and galloped forward. Behind Ye Li, Lin Han and Zhuo Jing and Ah Jin did not pay attention to the killing in front of them. They followed Ye Li's back.
On the ancient road in the bleak moonlit night, a tall man stood silently by the side of the road. He raised his head and looked at the new moon in the sky. His blue cotton clothes looked even darker in the dark night. It also added a coldness and scruples that he did not usually have. The man held a heavy sword in his hand. It was as if he had just been standing there, but also as if he had been standing there since ancient times.
On the road in the distance, the sound of horses galloping could be heard. A woman in black and a young man in green appeared beside the man. The woman in black frowned and said, "Big Brother, are we really going to do this?" The man in green disagreed and said, "Big Brother, offending the Prince Ding Mansion is not a wise thing to do."
The middle-aged man glanced sideways at his sister-in-law and said indifferently, "This is my business. You two leave immediately."
A trace of impatience flashed across the young man's sinister face, and he said snappily: "Big Brother, if something really happens to Ye Li here, do you think the Prince Ding Mansion will let us off? Since that's the case, what's the difference between you and the three of us? "
The middle-aged man said, "This is my personal matter. Go back, this is … an order! "
"But …" The woman in black frowned.
"Unless you don't recognize me as your big brother, leave immediately!" The middle-aged man said. The black-clothed woman helplessly stomped her feet and pulled the green-clothed man, disappearing into the night. The two of them had just left when the sound of horse hooves, which was still very far away, had already reached them. The leader was a woman in white with a cloak draped over her shoulders. Seeing the middle-aged man waiting by the side of the road, a trace of surprise flashed across the woman's face and she pulled on the reins.
Under the night sky, everyone was silent for a while. Ye Li said indifferently, "I never thought that one of the people who came to make things difficult for me would be the Master of the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce." The middle-aged man was one of the four great experts in the world, the Master of the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce, Ling Tiehan. Mu Qingcang had been missing for a long time, and Lei Zhenting was getting older. Ling Tiehan and Mo Xiuyao were the two people with the highest martial arts in the world. Moreover, Lei Zhenting, who had spent his life studying martial arts, was definitely not as easy to deal with as Mu Qingcang. The moment they saw him, Zhuo Jing and the other two immediately stepped forward and shielded Ye Li behind them.
As for their actions, Ling Tiehan didn't pay any attention to them. He just looked at Ye Li faintly. A trace of regret flashed across his resolute and calm face. "I also didn't expect this day to come." Whether it was his appreciation for Mo Xiuyao, his friendship with Xu Qingchen, or his pure admiration for this woman, Ling Tiehan had never thought that one day he would have to make a move against her. Unfortunately …
Zhuo Jing stood in front of Ye Li and said in a low voice, "Pavilion Master Ling, you are an expert of a generation. Are you not afraid that the world will laugh at you if word of this gets out?" Ling Tiehan looked at Zhuo Jing with a half-smile and said indifferently, "The subordinates of the Prince Ding Mansion are indeed all loyal and righteous. Don't tell me you don't know what this lord does? "The Yanwang Chamber of Commerce was an organization of assassins. Who would talk about fairness with an assassin? Asking an assassin to be honorable? When Ling Tiehan was young, his martial arts had yet to be accomplished. As an ordinary assassin at the lowest level, he had used many despicable methods to assassinate his enemies. As the Pavilion Master of the Yanwang Chamber of Commerce, Ling Tiehan had never placed much importance on his reputation.
Zhuo Jing was speechless. He felt that it was ridiculous to talk about morality and reputation with someone who used to be an assassin.
"I remember that Pavilion Master Ling and Jhennam Of Gojoseon have a grudge against each other," Ye Li said indifferently. Mo Jingli alone wouldn't be able to move Ling Tiehan, so it could only be Lei Zhenting. Ling Tiehan didn't deny it. He nodded and said, "That's right. But even so … I'm still from West-Hill. "
Ye Li looked down and frowned. "Speaking of which … not many people know about Pavilion Master Ling's background. Pavilion Master Ling … is also a member of the Emperor Of Xiling's family. "
Ling Tiehan looked at Ye Li with some surprise. After a while, he smiled and said, "Princess Ding is indeed extraordinary." Ye Li shook her head helplessly. "If Pavilion Master Ling didn't appear here, I wouldn't have made such a guess." Although there were many people who guessed Ling Tiehan's background, Ling Tiehan usually didn't have any flaws or loopholes. He hadn't interacted with the Emperor Of Xiling for so many years, so it was naturally difficult for people to guess his background. But when Ye Li eliminated all the possibilities that could make Ling Tiehan help Lei Zhenting, there was only one left.
The bad relationship between Ling Tiehan and Lei Zhenting wasn't just an act. To make Ling Tiehan put aside the prejudice of so many years to help Lei Zhenting, Ling Tiehan could only be a member of the Emperor Of Xiling's family.
The long ancient road seemed cold and lonely under the dim moonlight. After a while, Ling Tiehan said, "My mother … used to be the Imperial Concubine of the late Emperor." Ye Li raised her eyebrows. There were always schemes and conflicts in the palace. Ling Tiehan was the prince of the late Emperor of Xiling, but he only said that he had a grudge against Ling Tiehan and not the Emperor Of Xiling's family. It was likely that the early death of Ling Tiehan's mother and her wandering in the jianghu had something to do with Lei Zhenting, or Lei Zhenting's mother's family. Ye Li vaguely remembered that there was an extremely favored Imperial Concubine of the late Emperor of Xiling. Later, she seemed to have been killed by the late Emperor of Xiling. But it was really too long ago, so naturally, no one paid attention to it. Even Ye Li herself only glanced at Lei Zhenting's file by chance. She didn't even remember the name of that Imperial Concubine.
Ye Li sighed softly. She also understood that the situation before her was inevitable. She nodded and said, "Pavilion Master Ling, please make your move."
Ling Tiehan raised his eyebrows. "You're not afraid?" If Ye Li said that she was confident that she could defeat Ling Tiehan, it was definitely a joke. If Ling Tiehan went all out to kill, not to mention Ye Li, even if everyone on the battlefield was tied up, they still wouldn't be enough to kill Ling Tiehan.
